Twilight Lexicon: Michael Welch Interview

There’s a story behind this one. A couple of months back we asked Mike for an interview, but then he got busy (landed two indie movies, kudos to Mike), we got busy, and we figured it was one of those things that just didn’t work out, no big deal.

So last Saturday we are at Creation Entertainment’s Official Twilight Tour in Chicago and we are on line to get some autographs from Mike. We chat with Mike as he’s signing some items for our movie event giveaways and then we walk away from the table saying thanks.

So, the next thing we know Mike gets up from behind the table, flags us down, and says, “Hey wait, don’t I owe you guys an interview?” We told him not to worry about it, and were flattered that he remembered, but he said, “No, no I owe you guys. How about we do it later tonight?”

So long story short we quickly dug up our interview questions, and thanks to Creation allowing us to use their green room we were able to interview Mike. Now you have to understand that we interviewed him about 5 minutes after he had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand doing this, and he had to be exhausted.

We hope you enjoy the interview as much as we enjoyed doing it. The whole story, in our opinion, shows how dedicated Mike is to fans.

Terrific interview! I really enjoyed it. Mike seems like a really nice guy & I’m definitely looking forward to his non-Twilight projects. Thanks for sharing your time with us Mike! Much success to you!

Great interview!!! I loved hearing the story of how this all came about. And I just watched that Star Trek movie and I didn’t even realize that was Mike! I always wondered what happened to that cute kid! He’s grown up into a hottie!
